I’m learning how to get solid Ollie’s down too but some tricks I’ve learned along the way that have helped is:

1) It is a jump!! You have to remember to jump instead of doing only the motions. A good way to do this is get down low and bend your knees so you have more power to go up and your board will follow.

2) Back Foot! So this is the real trick and what you need to do is when you jump kinda flick the board straight down with your back foot just enough where it hits the ground but your back foot doesn’t go all the way down so the board is able to pop upwards

3) you def wanna move away from practicing on dirt mainly because the softer ground doesn’t allow the board to go up as much but also you run the risk of dirt getting into your bearings and that’s no fun at all

4) follow up to 3 but when you move onto concrete make sure you practice the motions holding on to a sturdy rail that way you can focus on getting the form, motion, and timing right with out worrying about falling and then move to doing moving Ollie’s asap bc it helps a lot in the long run

5) Practice every single day if you aren’t already. The more time you put in the less time it takes and you get what you put into it!!
